Plz help. My computer with win xp pro sp2 stop booting after post. I was playing game and when i quit the game, i got a blue screen and the comp reboots, just too fast i cant read the error message. All hardwares are fine as in bios, but the hdd just keep spinning (red indicator flashing), and the screen just black, not even the windows logo. Nothing happens when i press F8, red indicator just keep flashing and flashing. Tried boot cd but no success, it says that windows cannot detect any hdd when i wanna get into recovery console, but in bios the hdd is there. I'm not usual with RAID and sata, so a bit confused and helpless when comes to it. So any ideas what i have to do?

Are you running a RAID 0 array?
Are both HDD showing up in the BIOS. Are the sizes correct?
Are they SATA drives or IDE drives?
Have you tried booting with the XPCD and then pressing F6 when prompted and the load the RAID drivers from a floppy disk. If you are running a RAID or SATA device, windows won't see it without the drivers.
